“…Other isolated efforts include studies on land use suitability evaluation (Gong, Liu, & Chen, 2012;Wei, et al, 2015;Xu, Kong, Li, Zhang, & Wu, 2011), economic demand analysis (Wragg & Lim, 2015;Zacharias, 1999), and viewshed analysis (Llobera, 2003;Miller, 2001;Sander & Manson, 2007;. Few researchers have conducted quantitative research on 3D urban morphology (see, e.g., Qin, et al, 2015), and most existing studies have focused on sub-regions of a city rather than the whole city area (see, e.g., Yoshida & Omae, 2005;Yu, Liu, Wu, Hu, & Zhang, 2010). Most importantly, no studies have investigated the potential for 3D space development by considering land use suitability, economic feasibility, and landscape visibility at the same time.…”
